Inter Milan are closely monitoring Ibrahima Konate as Liverpool and Real Madrid battle for the French defender, with the Nerazzurri assessing whether conditions could open a rare opportunity in the market.
As reported in recent weeks, Konaté remains Inter’s top target to reinforce the back line.
The situation has gained urgency due to Francesco Acerbi’s injury, which could sideline the veteran for several more weeks and leave Inter short of experienced central defenders.
Inter’s idea would be to move early.
The club would be willing to invest around €15 million in January, a figure considered reasonable given Konaté’s contract situation at Liverpool.
His current deal runs until 2026, and Inter believe an early sale could appeal to the English club if renewal talks stall, avoiding the risk of losing the player on a free transfer later on.
Liverpool & Real Madrid Stand In Way Of Inter Pursuit Of Konate
Two major obstacles remain, as per L’Interista.
The first is Liverpool’s determination to convince Konaté to extend his contract.
Retaining the French international is a clear priority for the Reds, who are expected to push negotiations as far as possible.
The second complication is the interest of Real Madrid, whose involvement raises both competition and the potential valuation.
Despite these challenges, Inter’s strategy has not changed.
The club remain convinced that Konaté could transform the defensive unit and raise the overall level of the squad.
For now, the Nerazzurri are watching closely, aware that timing and circumstance will be decisive.
Marotta and Ausilio will find a way to miss out on another great opportunity to sign a good player. If the player is good, they always fail on signing.
Maybe they evaluate the player on more than his youtube compilation. Do you remember osvaldo, radja? Some players do not fit inter
we also remember Diouf, L. Enrique, Taremi, Palacios, Arna…the list is not short under the current ownership and the management..
Then remember gresko. Thats all you need to know. Stop the hate and support my team. Or go support your rube. Half of the ones you mentioned have not even made a full season. What a plastic fan
supporting the team is not the same as blindly supporting the mistakes they (ownership and management) make!
And if we roll back to the times of massimo…not many teams could compete with inter financial power, yet…zero medals. Enjoy Beppe while we have him.
except for the UCL and 5-6 serie a titles…
Inter under Moratti should’ve won 4-5 UCL’s and 10 Scudetto’s, we were a powerhouse back than with best players of the world playing for us.
sadly, the only thing we can do here is to watch…
